Mike Rophone Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hi, all! Many thanks for all your microphone info. It's been a real help!May I ask another quick questions. Am connecting a mono mike to a Sony R55 Minidisc. I can get a wire with miniplug, but it's mono. Should I use a stereo plug into the Minidsic, even though it's a mono mike, or will a mono plug work okay in the minidisc?Best wishes,Johnny, Manchester, England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to set the recorder to MONO, otherwise you risk only hearing the signal through the left speaker on playback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 With a mono plug you will get a signal in the left channel only. If you record in stereo mode, you will record the signal in the left channel only. If you use the mono recording mode, you will get lower than desired levels because the left channel signal and the right channel silence are mixed together and the average is recorded. If you have a mono to stereo adapter, use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
